CAPTAIN GEORGE LOWTHER, AND HIS CREW
George Lowther went second Mate on board the Gambia Castle, belonging to the Royal African Company, on board which was Captain Massey, with soldiers that he was to command under Colonel Whitney, whom were landed on James Island; but the Fort and Garrison not agreeing the Company soon after lost a Galley worth 10000l. by it.
Massey finding he must be over-ruled by the merchants, soon began to complain of their ill-treatment of his men in their allowance, saying he did not come to be a Guinea Slave; and that if they did not use him and his men better, he should take other measures.
